Context? If it’s a recruiter they are just trying to get info, pretty common question to ask so they can range pay or even see if you’re in their range. Don’t get too hot and so offended off the bat, they’re doing they’re job trying to fill a role.
If you read the California bill, a third party recruiter is also not able to ask this. Just ask the salary range you are looking for and stop doing illegal shit
To everyone telling me to lie: No I told them my range and that's all they're getting. Other people will not know this is bad though and fuck over their future salary for years to come. Sorry I care about other people besides myself 🤷♀️
I already know better than to give my current salary.
Context was provided. They live in California where it's illegal to ask this question. Yes, even for recruiters.
If it is illegal then it is not part of any legally held job in California. Since doing illegal things is illegal. I am not a lawyer.
I'm assuming this was at a job interview.
Sure but to go right to reporting without context besides “I was asked my salary”. Has this person never been in a job interview or recruited? Just lie about what you make
I have 10 years of experience and I am constantly interviewing in case something better comes along. Somehow other recruiters manage to not break the law just fine.
I am a woman in tech and women can get fucked over by not negotiating or being underpaid for one job, and then that follows them for the rest of their career. Which exactly why this law was passed and should be enforced.
You're missing the point. It is illegal to ask that in California. It was made illegal because it's so common and problematic for the interviewee.
It's illegal dude. It's not a hard concept hehe
